About this listen

Episode Three: The House of Cards Collapses Episode Three chronicles the October twenty three, twenty twenty five morning when the FBI arrested thirty four people across eleven states, including Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, Heat guard Terry Rozier, and former player Damon Jones. The episode reveals two intertwined conspiracies: one using insider NBA information to manipulate prop bets across seven games, another involving Mafia-backed poker games rigged with X-ray tables and marked cards. The investigation exposes how the NBA cleared Rozier eighteen months earlier despite red flags, revealing the league's investigative failures and conflict of interest when billions in gambling revenue are at stake. The episode concludes by examining whether professional basketball can survive its gambling addiction or if the profit-integrity conflict is fundamentally irresolvable.
